Regardless of how he feels, Scheana insisted she had no hate for Sandoval, wished the perfect for him and missed spending time collectively.

When she relayed that sentiment to the opposite ladies within the solid at Lala Kent’s celebration — which Sandoval was disinvited from — later that night time, Ariana reacted with only one phrase: “Pathetic.”

Then, it was time for all of them to move to San Fran.

The journey was truly the primary time Lala met Daniel and her first impression was definitely an fascinating one.

“Let me put it this fashion. You’ll be able to inform me he is a fantastic man all of the stay lengthy day, [but] I feel it is f–king bizarre that any dude can be like, ‘She’s the one,'” Kent stated in a confessional. “Simply left her man of 10 f–king years and so they nonetheless stay collectively. I am sorry, one thing appears off, proper?”

Daniel prevented the remainder of the group for the primary day of the journey, giving Brock Davies a while to drag Ariana apart following a solid boat trip and ask her the way it was being on a getaway together with her ex.

“He is like surroundings at this level. I did not actually notice he was there. He hopefully learns do not f–king speaking to me,” she stated, earlier than Brock stated he hoped she may discover area for “forgiveness” — describing it as with the ability to “concentrate on the nice issues that you’ve occurring round you.”

“To be able to transfer on fortunately in your life and concentrate on the nice, you 100% do not need to overlook anybody who’s traumatized you. You’ll be able to simply be like, nah, f–k off,” Madix replied. “There’s energy to me in damage, in anger, in feminine emotion and with the ability to have that and never being put on this place of it’s a must to take the excessive highway, be stoic … I feel there’s energy in all these feelings and I stand by that.”

In a confessional, she doubled down on her stance.

“The notion it’s a must to forgive in an effort to transfer on along with your life, that is outdated remedy,” she defined. “Gray-rocking and no contact is actually the one method to keep away from the s–t, the manipulation, all of it. It is me, I am a grey rock.”

Although he acknowledged the journey was most likely “somewhat awkward” for the couple, he additionally felt Ariana would “mentally” have the ability to “deal with” the scenario higher with him round. That is when Scheana took the chance to push Tom to apologize about one very particular side of the scandal — how he aired a few of Ariana’s private data post-split.

“I do know she has a really robust no contact coverage. I additionally know that issues that you’ve stated about her and her psychological well being and issues possibly she did not need public, is that one thing you possibly can truly apologize for type of weaponizing?” she requested.

Scheana felt Tom mentioning Ariana allegedly threatening suicide was performed simply to “deflect” from his personal conduct and “make an excuse” for his actions — when Ariana, per Shay, was solely doing the perfect she may to make issues work.

“She did not freeze her eggs only for herself. She did not go to {couples} remedy only for herself. She did not purchase a home only for herself,” stated Scheana. “She did all of these issues to construct a life with you. Simply take into consideration what I stated. That is all. Take into consideration that tonight.”

Whereas it stays to be seen whether or not he’ll make any such apology, in a confessional Sandoval stated that when he spoke of the place he was emotionally throughout the relationship, he did not intend for it to additionally “come throughout as blaming Ariana” for what occurred. “I screwed up and regardless of how our relationship went south, she did not deserve that,” he added.
